Sequel to Belladonna, that involves Signa and Death working on another murder mystery, this time to clear Signa’s uncle from a crime he did not commit, all while Death’s brother Fate seeks to pull them apart.

Belladonna was one of my favorite books from last year, and its sequel was a bit of a let down for me. I think this comes from maybe the author not knowing how to write an established couple and needing drama, so Signa and Death don’t get nearly as much time together as they do in the first book. There was also a twist that when it happened I thought “oh my god are we really doing this?”. I think I had expectations for where the story should go, and while the ending was kind of close to my predictions, the way we got there wasn’t always the best. I’m still going to read the third book when it comes out next year, but my expectations are now lowered so as to not be disappointed.
